For one of your final activities, you will need to create an audio recording of you responding to some questions and general reflections. If you don't have a method for recording and saving audio files, you can use a free program called Audacity to create an MP3 file of your voice/narration and MANY schools are using the program to create podcasts, record narration for digital stories, student projects, etc. It is a great program to become familiar with.
You will also need a way to actually record your voice, such as a microphone. If you don't have a microphone, you can just plug a set of headphones into the microphone jack on your computer; the earbuds act as a microphone. You lose some quality, but it will serve the purpose.
If you need to download Audacity, go to:
Windows: http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/windows
Macintosh: http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/mac
Also, in order to create the Mp3 file, you will need the LAME Mp3 encoder that accompanies Audacity. Follow the instructions on the download page:
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/help/faq?s=install&item=lame-mp3
I will be providing additional instructions to use the program shortly. In the meantime, feel free to play around with the program. Your confessional will be due the same day as your final project (November 17).
